Jeans Sew Along Thread

So remember way back when? When I was going to start a Jeans Sew Along at PatternReview.com? Well, I finally have the gumption and I started the thread today. Here's a direct link to it and here's the URL if you have to copy and paste it: http://sewing.patternreview.com/cgi-bin/sewingclasses/board.pl?last=1&t=49490&all=6

I plan on cranking out a few more pairs of the Jalie jeans. They fit me fantastically and I don't need to do any fit modifications at all. I may change the straight waistband into a countoured band but, then again, I might not. We really need to help each other find suitable denim. I ordered this yardage from Fabric.com a while ago and did a little comparison for you here.

I really need to jump on this one. I am in such need of well-fitting jeans! I have the Jalie too. And denim. And all the topstitching threads, rivets, jean buttons, hump-jumper, metal jean zippers, etc etc etc, that I bought LAST time you started a Jalie jeans sewalong. heh. :P

Ohhhhhh, so very tempting. I feel I might need to get in on this action myself. BTW, I will be heading to your neck of the woods in 2 weeks. I have a research trip planned for a week in Barrow Alaska. When I found out I instantly thought of you since you're the only person I know that lives in Alaska. Do you have any tips for me, besides bundling up to stay really warm (it's so cold up there)?

Excellent, I think I will buy some cheapo denim and work on getting the pattern alterations right then hopefully at some point I too will be able to crank these out like you! Thanks for starting the sewalong thread.

When it comes to men’s clothing the first thought which sparks in my mind is designer jeans. Anything will be suitable with designer jeans might be tees, shirts, jackets or blazers. Men in designer jeans look cool and handsome!
